Hello, Eye-problems with PD can be caused by the muscles that move the eye, if they are affected by PD. It can e.g. cause double vision. The eye-problem I want to talk about is the effect of dry eyes on PWP and a possible solution. Dry eyes can be a symptom of PD. And I have them. The effects are vague vision, sometimes double vision, burning irritated eyes, trouble reading, tired fast reading, computering, etc, etc. Since I haven't read about on the list yet, I thought I should mention the great releave I got using eye-drops (Methylcellulose 0.5 percent solution). The expected result was that I got a much clearer view, could read and compute for longer times, etc. The surprising extra result was that I became much less tired not only with reading etc., but also in general!!!!! In the Netherlands methylcellulose-solution is available in two versions with different additives. The first one I used irritated my eyes instead of helping. The second one workes great. So if one doesn't work, try the other. Since eye-problems of course can have several causes besides the ones mentioned by me, I advise you to consult your doctor first!! I hope this will be of some use to someone! Hans van der Genugten <[log in to unmask]>
